西山剿匪三姨太

性格叛逆的富家女安安为了逃避父亲逼她考大学的压力离家出走，结识了自幼父母双亡的小混混小康，俩人结伴前往台南，不料途中却遭黑社会追杀……。建筑设计师托马斯在妻子安雅的庆生宴过后发现妻子失踪，报警之后却被当成头号嫌疑人。他找到著名律师拉维妮娅请求帮助。此时，一名自称为安雅好友的女人康妮主动告知警方庆生宴当日托马斯与安雅爆发争吵，且托马斯疑似出轨。焦头烂额的托马斯找到拉维妮娅诉说心事，原来他们曾是恋人。警方根据现有证据逮捕了托马斯，然而在法庭上这些不充分的证据被辩护律师拉维妮娅一一反驳，托马斯有望无罪释放。而托马斯的一番问话，令拉维妮娅顿时不安。拉维妮娅回家后仔细翻看材料，惊讶地发现康妮才是托马斯的情人，而她提供的证词也不过是为了混淆视听，一切都是她和托马斯在钻“一案不再审原则”的空子：只要托马斯此次无罪释放，就算日后再找到安雅的尸体他也不会再被起诉。在最终判决前，拉维妮娅将自己的发现告知法官，托马斯被判无期徒刑，警方开始调查康妮。托马斯经常跑步锻炼的那条林间小径边上，似乎就是安雅的葬身之...。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
